Appointment of new Chief Executive Officer
Erris Resources plc, the European focused mineral exploration

The appointment as Chief Executive Officer has been approved by
the Board of Erris Resources and Mr du Plessis will join the Board
upon completion of director checks by the Company's Nominated
Adviser, which are underway. A further announcement will be made in
due course regarding Mr du Plessis' appointment to the Board of
Erris Resources.
Mr du Plessis has over 20 years' experience in the finance
sector. During this time, he has held senior positions at several
international investment banks including CIBC (The Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce), Bank of America Merrill Lynch and
Morgan Stanley with a focus on advising natural resources companies
on the execution of strategic and financing transactions. He has
worked on transactions across a range of commodities and for a
number of leading global players including Anglogold Ashanti, Rio
Tinto and BHP Billiton. Prior to embarking on his investment
banking career, Mr du Plessis worked for the Anglo American group
in a corporate finance and business development capacity.
Jeremy Martin, Chairman of Erris Resources, commented, "I would
like to take this opportunity to thank Merlin for his work for
Erris Resources over the past year as it transitioned into a
publicly listed company, and welcome Anton to the Company.
Attracting someone of Anton's calibre, with a track record of
advising leading mining companies, will be a positive addition to
the team. He has invaluable specialist knowledge, experience and a
wealth of international industry contacts, which will be of
particular value as we work to build the value in Erris Resources
through the development of our asset portfolio and its strategy to
identify high value opportunities."
